You decide to take your car on a drive through Canada, where gas is sold in liters and distances are measured in kilometers. Suppose your car's gas efficiency is 23.0 mi/gal. How many liters of gas will you need to complete a 495 km trip? Use the conversions 1 gal = 3.78 L and 1 km = 0.6214 mi.

Answer:

You will need 50.54 liters of gas.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is solved by proportions.

495km trip:

The gas efficiency is given in miles per gallon, so we need to find the number of miles traveled.

Each km has 0.6214 mi, so 495 km will be 495*0.6214 = 307.593mi.

Number of gallons:

23.0 mi/gal.

So for 307.593mi, the number of gallons is 307.593/23 = 13.37 gallons.

How many liters?

Each gallon has 3.78 liters.

So 13.37 gallons will have 13.37*3.78 = 50.54 liters.
